Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
These crispy-yet-tender potatoes are a staple in my kitchen. I've combined various recipes I've used over the years to come up with the one below. While you can substitute new potatoes or other varieties you might prefer, fingerlings are my favorite. I make them as a side to fish, chicken, red meat--we just had them with lamb burgers last night. I love them with a green salad and a soft cheese like Taleggio, too. For parties, I usually make a large batch and serve them at room temperature. And in our house, we eat these finger-like potatoes with our fingers!
